CHILDS GARMENT.

Application filed May 3, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID LANG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Childs Garment, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a childs garment, and has for an object the provision of a garment which to all appearances when in use is a single piece garment of the romper type, involving a dress or skirt portion to which a bloomer or pants portion is detachably connected in a simple and efficient manner so that the pants portion can be very easily applied and removed.

Another object resides in the particular construction and arrangement of parts which are hereinafter described and claimed. and shown in the accompanying drawings.

The invention is illustrated in the drawin 's, of which Figure l is a front view of the garment;

Fig. 2 is a rear view;

Fig. 3 is a section through a portion of the garment showing the particular manner in which the pants portion is fastened to the skirt portion; and

Fig. 4 shows the manner in which the pants portion can be opened at the side.

The form of the invention shown in the drawings is a preferred form, although it is understood that modifications in the construction and arrangement of the parts and in the character of the materials used may be adopted without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In accordance with the application of the invent-ion shown in the drawings, the garment comprises a waist 1 having a skirt portion 2. In Fig. 1 this skirt portion is shown upturned in order to disclose a relatively wide band 3. This band may be formed from the material of the waist as a sort of hem or tuck, or may be made as a separate band and attached at its upper end to the inner face of the skirt portion at any desired distance above the lower edge thereof and depending within the skirt portion. shown in Fig. 3, for instance, the skirt por Serial No. 558,116.

tion is turned back as at 4, shown in Fig. 3,

to form a sort of hem, and the upper end of the band of material 3 is turned overv and sewed between the upper end of the hem por 6 in Fig. 3, the band and hem being secured to the skirt by the same stitching. This band portion 3 is provided throughout its length with a plurality of fastening devices such as buttons 7. The pants portion 8 along its upper end is provided with a hem 9 havtion' 5 and that portion of the skirt marked ing a plurality of buttonholes 10 therein I adapted to engage withthe buttons 7. As shown in Fig. 4, the pants portion at .each side thereof can be opened down the side in the usual manner.

In other words, the inventiton comprises a relatively wide band, hem or tuck formed on the inner face of the skirt portion of a waist a suitable distance up beneath the loweredge thereof depending within the sklrt portion. This band portion is provided with fastening devices, such as buttons, throughout its entire length, and these are adapted to co-operate with fastening devices such as buttonholes on the upper edge of the pants portion so that the pants por-] tion can be quickly and easily removed from the skirt portion but while fastened thereto the connection is hidden from view, so

tion having a skirt, the lower portion of said skirt folded upwardly within the skirt to form a tuck or hem extending entirely around the skirt, a continuous band of material folded over at its upper end,'said folded over'endextending between the upper end of the tuck or hem and the inner face of the skirt, said folded over end and tuck or hem permanently secured to the inner face of the skirt, and a plurality of fas tening devices located on the outer side of said band adapted to removablysecure a nether garment.
